"stopping breathing" during a procedure on vocal chords (or any procedure in surgery) is not especially uncommon. Sub-optimal airway and/or ventilation situations do not routinely result in a patient being listed in "critical condition." This is not to say that problems don't occur but the report linked is strongly suspect for being incomplete, sensationalized, inaccurate or all of the above.
